898.0. "cause (0x5:0x57) ???" by MUNICH::WIESHEU () Tue May 13 1997 11:51

Hi,

a custommer of us has some problems, connecting his departments by using 
some RouteAboute Access EI. He is using PPP over ISDN-dial-up Lines (EDSS1) 
at the built-in ISDN-interface of the RA.
 
The Router-Software is:
"RtAbt Acces EI/MP,  Brouter: 1 Enet 1T1 1BRI,HW=1,RO=1,#1222,SW=V2.0-3"

It's no problem to dial in to that system, but it's not possible to dial out.
Has anybody ever seen this Cause-Codes?

Thank's for any hints

    0x64 is "Invalid IE contents" !
    0x57 is not in my list of cause codes.
    
    My only guess would be that perhaps the local address setting is
    incorrect, and the switch is noticing (it is used as the Calling Party
    Address in the outgoing SETUP message).  Any chance they could try
    V2.0.2?  I did make a change in this area for V2.0.3 and possibly they
    are running into an unintended side effect.

    Hi,
    
    the local address setting is OK (I could dial in to this RA with the
    ISDN-Address it has stored as local address).
    I already asked the customer to downgrade to 2.0-2.
    
    Could You please explain to me, what "Invalid IE contents" means?
    
    By the way, I found some new behaveour in the 2.0-3 SW. 
    eg.
    During setting up a virgin RA (SW < 2.0-3), I was used that the
    DN0-address has been automatically set when inserting the "Local
    Network Address Name"
    
    Thanks for Your help

    The switch didn't like something in a packet we sent it.  (IE =
    Information Element).  Not good, we should only send valid IEs ;-(

    Yes, in 2.0.3, we disabled that.  There is no need to set DN0 anymore
    unless you need to share the S-BUS with other ISDN equipment.  This
    eliminates the most common setup problem by far (incorrect setting of
    DN0 caused calls not to be answered).
    
    If you want to set it, first confirm the actual DN0 from the switch by
    looking at ELS message ISDN.041 when a call arrives.

    Nice to see what's going on,
    
    Thanks
